Product Description
Review
[Buchanan's] critical expertise situates him well in this debate as one of the leading advocates of 'green theory'. --Lisa Tilder
Product Description
Contemporary buildings are major contributors to the environmental crisis. In this book, curator and critic Peter Buchanan uses ten buildings that combine environmental responsibility and design excellence to argue that sustainability is not only good for the planet, but also offers architects new opportunities for creativity and innovation. Generously illustrated with four-colour photographs and plans, the book includes work by international architects including Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, and Herzog Partner.

Useful book
1 July 2009
Format:Paperback
It is very useful. It has a lot of material about sustainable architecture, founded in real examples. Most of this kind of books are very theorical but not practical.
